Ian Worboys
Meet Ian Worboys, the author who overcame dislexya to produce the entertaining and educational The Crush Series books. As a father of four, Ian found himself looking for books that were fun, preferably written in rhyming poetry, to help him engage more with his children and to entertain them and develop their imagination and creativity. Unable to find such books on the shelves of his local bookshops Ian started his hobby of writing poetry and this is where The Crush Series stories started to take shape.
Ian always believed that poetry should be entertaining and inventive and more importantly fun and make children laugh whilst they are in fact learning. The author always communicated with his children by using humour and rhyme and help their imagination grow. His skills as a parent have helped form the basis of The Crush Series books and their related educational and fun products.
While reading the books to his children at bedtime when they were young, Ian brought the animals in the books to life through his hilarious impersonations. He could be a funny penguin, a frog or a kangaroo and his imagination as a writer of rhyming poetry fed the minds of his children and their friends. Their interactions with each other, their laughter and games of hide and seek were the inspiration for all the characters in the books.
